Watching


"I love stargazing. /Why? /Why not? /No seriously why? /because for a moment, it makes the world, magical."


It was late at night in Jump City. The stars are shining bright; the moon is gazing down upon the quiet city; the gentle breeze of the night air creating rustling sound from the trees; the clear, blue bay, enchantingly flowing towards the island in the middle of it.

It was a magical night, especially for two certain heroes.

Robin watched as Raven take in the glorious sight of the night. The moonlight twinkling in her deep, amethyst eyes as it travels towards the dark sky. The breeze is making her hair dance in the wind. He felt his heart melt when he saw her smile. "Robin look, there's Orion's Belt." She said pointing at the three aligned stars to her right.

He smiled, wrapped his arm around her shoulder and scooted close to her. "Gemini's over there, and Cancer." She added. "And there's Aries." He murmured in her ear. Raven shuddered slightly, feeling the love that was implanted in his voice. His smile widened and gently nibbled her earlobe. Raven leaned into him, giving more love in this simple gesture than a kiss and a hug would mean.

Silence ruled and Robin resumed watching the dark bird in his arms. He felt his heart fly just by looking at her. He wondered why he never noticed her before. Her beauty and personality was catchy and magnificent, why did he miss it before? Because of a certain redhead alien? His obsession for a madman? His egotistical and arrogant behavior? Or because of the darkness she was hiding in? Her cold exterior that was concealing her warm, caring side?

It doesn't really matter to him anymore.

Now, he already sees her— not because of her beauty, intelligence, or her personality, but because she is her. She doesn't pretend to be something she's not. She is just her— Raven, Daughter of Trigon, sorceress from Azarath, the woman he's in love with.

"Robin, look." At her voice, Robin averted his gaze above the sky. At first, there was nothing but the stars and the moon watching them, but then a sudden flash of straight line appeared in the sky, then another, until a few more showed. "Meteors." He whispered.

Soon, the sky was filled with meteor shower. Each one makes the night sky magical and wonderful— like a fairytale.

Raven put her head on his shoulder. "Azarath has meteor showers every night." She said, still looking above. Robin rested his own head above hers. "Really? That's fascinating." He complimented. "Yeah. When I was young I used to watch it every night. I never missed a single night, and every night also, when the meteor shower starts, I'd make a wish." He suddenly stared at her, "What were your wishes?" he asked, slightly tightening his hold on her.

She became thoughtful for a moment; her eyes were thoughtful and far away, getting lost in such deep thought. She took a deep sigh before giving her reply, "I'd wish for my life would be different. That my father wasn't a tyrant, that my mother wasn't afraid of me." She trailed off, swallowing thickly before continuing, "That I'm normal so that everyone would accept me."

The Boy Wonder felt his heart be swarmed by butterflies before kissing her forehead. "I accept you." He said, making the dark Titan stared at him. "It doesn't matter anymore Robin. That was a long time ago. It's in the past." Robin smiled and once again gazed at the sky and realized that the meteor shower was over. "Did you wished for something tonight?" he asked returning his gaze to her.

She smiled. "No. I'm already happy for what I have." Robin chuckled, snaked his arms around her waist and buried his head on the crook of her shoulder. "I hope it's me." He joked. She laughed as well and returned his hug. "Of course it's you silly. I wouldn't want anyone else." They slightly pulled away from the embrace and stared into each other's eyes. Raven raised her hand and let her delicate fingers traced his forehead, down to his jaw then up again, carefully tracing the outline of his masked eyes, silently asking permission. He nodded and she slowly removed it.

Blue eyes met amethyst ones…

They slowly leaned in with their hearts hammering inside their chests. When their lips met, time stopped and everything seemed a blur. Robin deepened the kiss, savoring every minute, every second of it. Raven seemed glad to oblige as she let his tongue explore her mouth. It was only the two of them now in a world they can call their own.

They pulled away after what seemed like an eternity for them. Opening their eyes slowly and making sure this wasn't a dream. Robin closed his eyes and leaned in once again, his forehead touching hers.

"Watch with me Raven?" Robin suddenly said. Before Raven could answer, he continued, "Watch with me everytime the sun rises and sets, watch with me everytime an old couple would pass us by, watch with me every movies during movie night and watch with me the moon, stars and meteors that would light up the night, creating a world wherein we could be free of our duties and worries, a world full of wonder and fantasy that makes our hearts soar- " He took her hand and kissed it gently, "—a world where there is us and only us." He finished, his eyes never leaving hers.

She kissed him deeply. Giving her love and answer with this very action.

'Yes.'


AN: As promised, my second RobRae of the day. Yay! The quote I used above is not actually a quote. I got it from the story I wrote when I was 11 years old. You can PM me if you're interested to read that story. You wouldn't find it on the internet because my very own stories are not posted online. (I'm afraid of plagiarism. I'm always a victim of it at school.)

Review?

AN: I still need to work on my grammar in all honesty.
